The civil and military officials of Daqi followed the saint to bid farewell to the new army of Daqi Protector outside the city gate, and sent the Son of Heaven into the city first, and then returned home on foot in twos and threes.

A servant surnamed Chen turned his head and asked his fellow senior brother, "Brother Nian, where can I find a meal at noon?" Mrs. Sister-in-law also went to Yanliu River, right? ”。

The waiter surnamed Li, who was half a head taller than him, was surprised: "What? My brother and sister are not at home? ”。

The servant shook his head and said: "Don't mention it, recently, the big girls and little daughters-in-law in the capital's mansions have been going crazy to the Yanliu River, saying that there is a male geisha, and what kind of "hip twisting dance" is danced, and all the women are flocking to it. A distant cousin of mine had just arrived, and his sister-in-law was anxious to take her to Yanliu River early in the morning, saying that she wanted her to see the world. ”

The squire of the criminal department stopped and said in surprise: "There are still such strange things? But that guy took off his pants and danced? ”。

The servant of the ministry smiled: "How dare he? Is there an immorality and is not taken down on the spot? It is said that this person's name is Zhu Xiaoxian, and he is extremely ugly, but he has attracted the daughters and wives of various prefectures in Kyoto, which is really incredible."

The squire of the criminal department sneered: "Every time there is an end of the world, there will be demons. Say something that is not afraid of killing the head: this is the elephant of the country! ”。

The servant of the ministry looked around nervously, and then turned around and whispered: "Brother Nian, don't talk nonsense, beware of the wall has ears." In fact, I can't figure it out, a big man with an ugly face, just by twisting his ass in public, he has a lot of silver, which is really incredible! ”。

The waiter of the criminal department clenched his fists and arched his hand: "Brother Tai, don't worry, I will order someone to investigate secretly, once I find that there is something wrong with that guy,

We will punish you severely! ”。

It is said that Chen Shilang's cousin had just come from the countryside and was dragged by his cousin to Yanliu River to watch the excitement.

In spring, a wave of clear water meanders and flows slowly, with flowers on the bank and bustling crowds.

It is a men's playground at night, but recently it has been crowded by the big girls and little daughters-in-law in the capital during the day. Countless boats with long tails dragged towards a large painting boat in the center of the river. The people on the painting boat were noisy and smoky, and it was much more lively than the big painting boat that was like a smoke girl.

Chen Shilang's cousin boarded the big painting boat with his sister-in-law, and saw that it was crowded with people, and the ladies and ladies in the capital's mansions dressed up in flowers and branches, all with happy faces, huddled together and chattering, like a flock of hungry sparrows in winter finally saw a few broken grains of rice thrown on the ground.

The gongs and drums sounded, and there was no one on the small stage built in the center, so these women screamed and screamed, anyway, there were no men here, they could do whatever they wanted, and there was no need to pretend to be reserved and dignified.

Chen Shilang's cousin felt inexplicable and confused, and she wondered if the dignified and virtuous ladies around her had taken the wrong medicine. After looking around with her eyes wide open for a while, she closed her mouth tightly and lowered her head, not daring to open her mouth with a stomach full of questions, for fear of being looked down upon, saying that she was from the countryside and had never seen the world.

The gongs and drums became more and more urgent, and a few young men in their early twenties who were neatly packed up and down passed the stage with their heels, and the screams around them were even worse, sounding more like the screams of a woman suddenly being pulled by the neck and pressed into the ice water in the cold winter, and Chen Shilang's sister couldn't help but block her ears.

When a man in red, who was short in stature, with a sallow face and a circle of black pockmarks on his face, and looked sick, stepped onto the stage, the warm atmosphere reached its climax. Many of the women wept as if their father had just died.

The pockmarked little man triumphantly circled the stage, waving and winking at the audience, which caused a hysterical scream from the audience. The screams gradually converged into seemingly neat but chaotic shouts: "Zhu Xiaoxian, Zhu Xiaoxian." ”

The yellow-faced pockmark, who was called Zhu Xiaoxian, suddenly knelt on one knee, rolled on the stage, jumped up, turned his back to the spectators, and twisted his strong hips from side to side quickly and flexibly to the rhythm of the drum.

Chen Shilang's cousin opened her eyes wide, staring at the bulging place, stunned that she didn't see anything special, she couldn't figure out why the sisters next to her were so excited.

Zhu Xiaoxian twisted for a while, and then quickly rolled on the stage, stretching out his slender arm from time to time towards the spectators in the audience, as if he was trying to grab something. Chen Shilang's cousin stared at his hands curiously for a while, the palms of those two hands were skinny and the nails were scary, more like two chicken paws.

When Zhu Xiaoxian jumped up again sweating profusely, pouting his ass with his back to everyone, the drumming on the stage suddenly stopped, and the surroundings became extremely quiet. There was a muffled "bang", and a faint wisp of white smoke came out from the position slightly lower of his hip, and the whole performance was over.

Chen Shilang's cousin finally felt it now, her forehead was sweating, and she only felt that her abdomen was turned upside down...... She wanted to throw up.

Zhu Xiaoxian turned around and said goodbye to everyone, and several of his little apprentices turned over their heels on stage and then performed similar performances.

Cousin Chen Shilang, who couldn't bear it and didn't let herself vomit in public, finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked her sister-in-law, "What the hell is this thing called?" That person is so ugly, why is he so sought after by everyone? ”。

The sister-in-law beside her changed her face and hurriedly glanced around, but fortunately, because the ship was too crowded and noisy, no one paid attention to it at all. Even so, when the sister-in-law also put her index finger to her lips with a serious expression, and then whispered in her ear with a nervous expression: "Sister, you don't understand, don't talk nonsense, now it has become a fashion to watch Zhu Xiaoxian's performance in the capital, if you don't know how to appreciate it, don't speak, lest you be laughed at as a bun who doesn't know how to write and ink!" There is also the possibility of being beaten by his supporters."

Chen Shilang's cousin was startled, quickly closed her mouth, and raised her hand to cover it.

Seeing that her cousin was frightened and nervous, she couldn't bear to be a sister-in-law, so she lowered her head and comforted her ear: "Just don't squeak, in fact, I don't see anything good." But now it's popular to look at the butt and not the face, and he is a celebrity on the cusp, so I'll just open my eyes and close my eyes, and be elegant. ”

Zhu Xiaoxian, who returned to the backstage, stretched out his arms and legs, and sat on a soft chair with a big grin, and several small servants rushed forward, some brought tea and poured water, some handed towels to wipe his sweat, and some people helped him massage his arms with hands and feet, kneeling at his feet and beating his legs for him.

Zhu Xiaoxian lay comfortably on his back, slightly closing his eyes and enjoying all this. Occasionally, when someone is too heavy, he will open his eyes and scold. After the incident, it was as if nothing had happened, and he closed his eyes again.

After a while, a few children came over with trays full of silver in their hands, and asked him to look at them one by one. Zhu Xiaoxian raised his head lazily, blinked at the small triangular scar, and waved his hand.

A fat man who looked like a chief manager nodded and stepped forward, and whispered in his ear: "Mrs. Ma and Mrs. Luo have stuffed notes and given a large amount of silver, so that you can go to the house at night." ”

Zhu Xiaoxian frowned sparsely and asked, "Which of them gives the most silver?" That Mrs. Ma is a little old, isn't she? ”。

The fat man who looked like the manager whispered: "Why care about age? Mrs. Ma gave more money! Besides, Mrs. Nama is in her prime, only in her early forties, and his lord has been out for more than half a year, and it is estimated that he will die outside."

Zhu Xiaoxian nodded and said, "This one is safer, then you can go back to Mrs. Luo for me." ”

The Spring Festival is short, late at night this day, in the house of Lord Ding, the squire of the Ministry of War, Zhu Xiaoxian had just finished drinking a glass of wine with Mrs. Ding, and before he could take off his clothes, the maid broke in in a panic and shouted: "Madam, it's not good, the master suddenly brought a large group of people and came back with torches!" ”。

Mrs. Ding's face was pale, and she hurriedly told the maid: "Quick, you go out from the back door with my little fairy meat, and I'll go to the front door to deal with it for a while." ”

Zhu Xiaoxian, who was in a panic, had a sallow and white face, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He bowed his head and followed the maid, and ran to the back door with one foot deep and one foot shallow. When I came to the back door, the maid couldn't open it, and after shaking for a long time, I found that the courtyard door had been bolted to death from the outside.

The witty maid immediately said: "Over the wall!" ”。

Finally climbed the wall, Zhu Xiaoxian looked back, the torches at the front door were bright, the voices were boiling, and more than a dozen torches were flying towards this side. His heart trembled, and he gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and jumped off the high wall.

As soon as he hit the ground, a large foot was stomped on his back, making him unable to move.

The torch was lit, and a burly man glared at him.

"Big brother, big brother, I know it's wrong. If you slap your face casually, I won't be ashamed. But don't hurt my ass, I eat from it! ”。 Zhu Xiaoxian twisted desperately in horror, begging for mercy hoarsely.

The strong man rolled up his sleeves with raised eyebrows, gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry! I'm going to spank your face and spank your ass to your face! ”。 With that, he waved his big fist and smashed it at him headlessly.

Zhu Xiaoxian spurted blood from his mouth and nose, and passed out before he survived three or five times.

"Big brother, this kid doesn't resist the beating, you don't get angry and kill someone, let's report to the official." A man with a torch behind the big man said.

The big man turned his head suddenly, gritted his teeth and said, "What official?" Uncle, I am the official! The ugliness of the family should not be publicized, how will I be able to stand on the court in the future when I report to the yamen?! ”。

After thinking for a moment, the big man gritted his teeth and said, "Chop this dog offal, dig a pit and bury it!" Tomorrow send troops to burn down his lair. ”

Early the next morning, a team of officers and soldiers armed with knives and guns came to the Yanliu River, unceremoniously drove all the people on Zhu Xiaoxian's painting boat off the boat, and set the painting boat on fire.

Zhu Xiaoxian's three little apprentices knelt on the shore with tears in their eyes, and one of them gritted his teeth and said, "There is no place to stay here." Bu Fan, Hanhan, we must firmly believe that the future must be our world! ”。

The other two nodded vigorously, raised their sleeves to wipe away their tears, and the three of them turned around hand in hand and disappeared into the faint morning mist.

The turquoise water of the Smoke Willow River flowed quietly, suddenly swirled, and then flowed gently and gracefully to the east.
